Asbury First United Methodist Church, Rochester

Asbury First United Methodist Church, Rochester

The Asbury First United Methodist Church in East Avenue, Rochester in upstate New York is quite a late building to be described as Art Deco. According to this case study on the InSpired Associates website,

The church was constructed with an Indiana limestone façade according to plans developed by the Reverend Dr. Weldon Crossland and the architectural firm of Wenner and Fink, Methodist Church Architects, located in Philadelphia.

I like the stepped style of the body of the church, mirrored in the buttresses of the spire.

And this spectacular art deco style 'hand of God' plaque on the face of the spire directly above the main entrance.
